Ram Rahim Case: Castration Victim Seeks Video Testimony Amidst Fresh Threats
A castration victim, seeking asylum in the United States, has requested to testify against self-styled godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh via videoconference. His plea cites ongoing threats to his family following the withdrawal of their security detail.
The victim alleges that followers of Ram Rahim are continuing to threaten his family, creating a climate of fear and insecurity. He fears for their safety and well-being.
Ram Rahim’s legal team, however, opposes the videoconference testimony. They raise concerns about a fair trial and question the authenticity of the alleged threats.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), investigating the case, is yet to respond to the victim’s plea for reinstated family security. This delay further compounds the victim’s anxieties.
This case highlights the vulnerability of witnesses in high-profile cases involving powerful individuals. The lack of timely response from the CBI raises serious questions about witness protection mechanisms in India. The ongoing threats underscore the need for stronger measures to safeguard those who bravely come forward to testify against powerful figures, ensuring justice prevails.
